A message from the director of OTW Film Fest:

I regret to inform everyone in the OTW Film Fest community, submitting filmmakers, volunteers, and sponsors, that due to extended illness and circumstances beyond my control our event will not go on this year.

This was a difficult decision to make, but, as the festival approaches, it has become clear our best option is to regroup and come back with an even bigger and better film festival event for On The Waterfront Festival’s 2013 season.

I thank you all for your support of our film fest, and though I feel sorrow at canceling the event for this year, I already feel anticipation for its rebirth next year.

Sincerely,
jason ssg
OTWFF Director
